Apple iPad (11th Generation)

Out March 12### Apple iPad (11th Generation)

2$349.00 at AmazonIf you're an everyday user with standard tablet needs, the new 11th-generation iPad is an excellent choice. It's equipped with the faster A16 chip, an upgrade from the A14 in the previous model. Additionally, it now starts at 128GB of storage, doubling the previous model's starting capacity at no extra cost. The design and functionality remain largely unchanged, with color options including silver, blue, yellow, and pink. While it offers improved internal performance, it's worth noting that it does not include Apple Intelligence.

For those who can do without Apple Intelligence (and I, as an iPhone 16 user, find it quite manageable), the 11th-gen iPad provides ample power and performance for typical tasks such as gaming, web browsing, video streaming, social media scrolling, and email checking. It's built to handle these activities smoothly for years to come.

0$269.00 at AppleThe new iPad Air, powered by the M3 chip, sits comfortably in the middle of Apple's tablet lineup, offering superior specs compared to the baseline iPad but falling short of the iPad Pro's capabilities. If you're looking for more computing power than what the baseline model provides, the M3 iPad Air is a strong contender. It's available in both 11-inch and 13-inch sizes.

As its name suggests, this model features Apple's powerful M3 chip and supports Apple Intelligence, setting it apart from the baseline iPad. It's also compatible with the new Magic Keyboard, available at Apple, which includes a row of function keys and a trackpad for enhanced productivity.
